Sarasota Home Invasion On Holiday Drive Ain't the Guy the Joint Task Force Is Looking For Where Did He Go And Why ?

Sarasota Home Invasion On Holiday Drive Ain't the Guy the Joint Task Force Is Looking For Where Did He Go And Why ?

Victim's boyfriend charged in Sarasota home invasion, SARASOTA HERLAD TRIBUNE - Deputies arrested two people and are looking for a third in connection with a June 26 home invasion robbery on Holiday Drive. Brandon S. Best, the victim’s boyfriend, drove the getaway car while two of his acquaintances Justin Bachner, 23, and Alyssa Harnisch, 22 put on masks and went into the house through the front door, according to arrest affidavits".

The Joint Task Force is made up of the Sarasota Police Department, the Sarasota Sheriff's Department, the FDLE, the Manatee Sheriff's Department, the Bradenton Police Dept. and the FBI. Their guy appears to have been responsible for at least 11 Sarasota/Bradenton Home invasions.

The attacker in the string of 11 Home Invasions in Sarasota and Bradenton Fl was not the 3 goofballs, Brandon Best, Justin Bachner and Alyssa Harnisch in the Sarasota Herald Tribune article above. The Sarasota perp has been described by victims as a white male, 5′10″ to 6′ 0″ tall, about 175 to 185 lbs, dark hair, speaks in street slang, some victims thought he was black by the way he talks, he wears a black ski mask, long sleeve shirts, gloves and has made statements that he robs to feed a crack cocaine habit, he has made no mistakes.

The attacker appears to be targeting mostly middle-aged women, who live alone, creeping into their homes or yards and sneaking up behind them. He strikes them in the head, usually binds them with cords or rope he finds in their homes, then beats them again as he grabs cash, credit cards, jewelry and electronics but robbery does not appear to be the motive.

It has been confirmed that a serial attacker of women is/was at large in the Sarasota Bradenton area who brutalizes his mostly female victims.

Usually in serial attacker cases like this, the Sarasota male perp would have recently moved into the area (Jan 2009) and had numerous prior address’s around the country, a drifter, he could possibly have no prior arrest record as he has gotten away with the same type of attacks in other parts of the country, so there would not be any match of DNA in any criminal database.

The Sarasota male perp would be single and living alone (loner no friends), he would be 35 to 53 years of age and he appears to work outside in the day time, working the Sarasota neighborhoods as he blends in.

All of the attacks in Sarasota occurred North of Clark Road aka Stickney Point Rd and South of Webber St and centered on Proctor Road. Murdered Georgeann Smith on Jo-An Drive in Sarasota went to the Bee Ridge Baptist Church on Proctor Rd. I strongly feel that the Sarasota perp has access to information online as to who lives in the homes that he targets.

I was aware of an individual in the South Sarasota area who was found doing what appeared to be surveillance from his vehicle on an elderly woman who lived alone. I came upon this man on three separate occasion, all three times he was sitting in his vehicle watching a house that contained an elderly woman who lived alone, during daylight hours.

Two subsequent phone interviews with Detectives and one interview in my home led me to believe that this man had become a person of interest. This man matched the physical description, lived alone, had a job working the Sarasota neighborhoods where the attacks took place and abruptly left the Sarasota area at the end of May, to be continued, but hopefully not here.

Profile: Al-Qaeda in North Africa
Al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb, to give its full name in English, has its roots in the bitter Algerian civil war of the early 1990s, but has since evolved to take on a more modern Islamist agenda.

It emerged in early 2007, after a feared militant group, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), aligned itself with Osama Bin Laden's international network.

Armed Islamists mounted attacks across Algeria; the security forces fought back; and sometimes it was hard to tell which group had carried out which atrocity.

Other states in the region - Tunisia and Morocco, Mauritania to the west and Libya to the east - also battled against Islamists.

NO BAIL FOR TAMPA MUSLIM RAED AL-SAIF TRYING TO BRING A KNIFE ON TIA FLIGHT JUNE 4TH HE HAD TWO FLORIDA ID'S AND CREDIT CARDS IN OTHER NAMES.

NO BAIL FOR TAMPA MUSLIM RAED AL-SAIF TRYING TO BRING A KNIFE ON TIA FLIGHT JUNE 4TH HE HAD TWO FLORIDA ID'S AND NUMEROUS CREDIT CARDS IN OTHER NAMES.

TAMPA - A federal magistrate today ordered 24-year-old Saudi Arabian national RAED AL-SAIF held without bail on a charge he tried to bring a knife with a 7-inch blade aboard a plane at Tampa International Airport. A federal prosecutor said Alsaif is in the United States on a student visa and was attending the University of Tampa until he was "academically dismissed" for bad grades May 27.

Because he failed to file a timely appeal, he is in violation of his visa. Hansen said Alsaif had numerous credit and identification cards, some in other people's names, when he was arrested. He also detailed a spotty record of addresses Alsaif gave to investigators and his school; Alsaif was carrying two Florida ID cards with different addresses.

Alsaif's father is a former diplomat from Saudi Arabia, the prosecutor said. Alsaif told agents he planned to call the consulate because his father knows the king, Hansen said. He also recently told a friend he planned to flee the country because he wanted to get away from requirements imposed on him by Hillsborough County courts relating to a drug charge.

The FBI in Philadelphia has said it is looking into whether there is a connection between Alsaif's arrest and the arrest of two people in Philadelphia that same day June 4th 2009 private investigator Bill Warner tipped off the Tampa Tribune to this fact. The Philadelphia passenger and airline employee were charged with trying to smuggle a gun onto a flight bound for Phoenix.

On the morning of June 4th, the FBI says an airline employee in Philadelphia helped his friend bypass security and onto a plane with an unloaded handgun in his bag. At about the same time, a man with ties to a controversial Islamic school was arrested for allegedly trying to secret a 7-inch butcher knife onto a Tampa flight. FBI Special Agent Frank Burton in Philadelphia said the agency is "looking into" in any possible connections.

Bill Warner, a Sarasota, Fla., private investigator who has worked with federal agencies on terrorist-related issues, says the cases should raise red flags.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION
26th day of June 2009
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 8:09-cr-285-T-24EAJ
RAED ABDULRAHMAN ALSAIF,
Defendant.
ORDER OF DETENTION;

The Defendant is before the court on an initial and bail/detention hearing. He stands indicted for knowingly possessing a butcher knife while attempting to board an aircraft at Tampa International Airport in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 46505(b).

The government seeks detention on the basis of risk of flight. The Defendant seeks release on conditions including a secured bond and residence with other family members. A hearing was conducted June 26, 2009. Upon consideration, the Defendant’s request for release is denied. As revealed at the hearing, the Defendant’s ties to the Middle District of Florida are tenuous at best.

He is a foreign national in the U.S. on a student visa. At present, he is in violation of that visa and subject to deportation. Immigration has placed a detainer against him for purposes of such proceedings. The Defendant has family ties in the Portland, Oregon area and family members have offered to secure his release with the equity in property located there.

They propose that the Defendant reside with them there in the hopes that his student visa will be renewed and he can attend Portland State University. While these are not insignificant conditions, they do nothing to alter the Defendant’s immigration status. Based on matters revealed in the government’s proffer, there are reasons to suspect that the Defendant has not been entirely candid since his arrest. On the whole, the court finds insufficient security and other conditions of release to assure the Defendant’s attendance at further proceedings and accordingly, he is ordered DETAINED.

The Defendant may revisit the matter on subsequent motion should circumstances warrant. The Defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney General or his designated representative for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal.

The Defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with defense counsel. On Order of a Court of the United States or on request of an attorney for the Government, the person in charge of the corrections facility shall deliver the Defendant to the United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding.

Done and Ordered in Tampa, Florida this 26th day of June 2009.

Abdullah Gulam Rasoul aka Abdul Zakir Sprung from Gitmo in 2007 now leads Taliban in Afghanistan against US Marines with 60 other former Gitmo pals.

Abdullah Gulam Rasoul aka Abdul Qayum Zakir Sprung from Gitmo in 2007 now leads Taliban in southern Afghanistan against US Marines with 60 other former Gitmo pals.

Abdul Qayum Zakir, also known as Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, is from Helmand Province and has taken a circuitous route to become head of the radical Taliban Islamic group.

Zakir was a senior fighter during the Taliban regime in the 1990s. In a memorandum prepared for his administrative review board at Guantanamo, Zakir apparently "felt it would be fine to wage jihad against Americans, Jews, or Israelis if they were invading his country."

And he acknowledged that he was called to fight jihad in approximately 1997," when he joined the Taliban.

In 2001, he surrendered to US and Afghan forces in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif as the regime was collapsing. He spent the next several years in custody, was transferred to Guantanamo around 2006, then to Afghanistan government custody in late 2007, and was eventually released around May 2008. American officials won't say why he was let go and have not released a photograph of him.

Zakir wasted little time rekindling his relationship with the Taliban, especially its inner shura, or leadership council, based in Pakistan. According to some accounts, Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar appointed Zakir as a senior military commander in mid-2008.

He quickly developed a reputation as a charismatic leader. Abdullah Gulam Rasoul alias Mullah Abdullah Zakir, is a citizen of Afghanistan previously held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.

His Guantanamo Internee Security Number is 008. JTF-GTMO analysts estimate he was born in 1973, in Helmand, Afghanistan.On March 9, 2009, the Department of Defense reported that he had emerged as a Taliban leader following his release.

The Times reports that he had been transferred from US custody in Guantanamo to Afghan custody in the American built wing of the Pul-e-Charkhi prison, which in turn released him, according to Pentagon and CIA officials.

The officials, who spoke anonymously because they are not authorized to release the information, said Rasoul has joined a growing faction of former Guantanamo prisoners who have rejoined militant groups and taken action against U.S. interests. Pentagon officials have said that as many as 60 former detainees have resurfaced on foreign battlefields.

Al-SHABAAB RECRUITMENT IN AMERICA Statement of Osman Ahmed, The plan of Al-Shabaab is basically to destroy the world peace.

CONGRESSIONAL HEARING TO TESTIFY AT A HEARING ENTITLED: VIOLENT ISLAMIST EXTREMISTS: Al SHABAAB RECRUITMENT IN AMERICA

Statement of Osman Ahmed On Behalf of the Victim Families Whose Children Have been Recruited And Kidnapped To Somalia Before the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Washington, DC

Senators Lieberman and Collins

There are five children among the many that were sent to Somalia. Burhan Hassan(17 years old, senior at Roosevelt High), Mohamud Hassan(18 years old, studying Engineering at the University of Minnesota), Abdisalam Ali(19 years old, studying health at the University of Minnesota) and Jamal Aweys(19 years old, studying engineering at Minneapolis Community and Technical College –MCTC- and later at Normandale College here in Minnesota) as well as Mustafa Ali (18 years old, studying at Harding High School in St. Paul.

All these youth shared common things. They all left Somali in their infancy like my nephew Burhan Hassan. He was eight (8) months old when they arrived at the refugee camp in Kenya. He was less than four (4) years old (February 12, 1996) when they came to the USA. Like his peers, Burhan Hassan never interested in Somali politics, or understood Somali clan issues. Burhan grew up in a single parent household.

His immediate family members including his mother and sibling are educated. He studied Islam at a nearby Abu-Bakar As-Saddique mosque like he rest of the kids since 1998. (Abu-Bakar As- Saddique was opened couple of years ago. Before then, it used be called Shafi’e Mosque in Cedar Riverside Neighborhood when Burhan started.) He attended its youth group.

These kids have no perception of Somalia except the one that was formed in their mind by their teachers at the Abu-Bakar Center. We believe that these children did not travel to Somalia by themselves. There must be others who made them understand that going to Somalia and participating the fighting is the right thing to do.

One thing for sure is that the methods of indoctrination are highly sophisticated. The plan of Al-Shabaab is basically to destroy the world peace and they will turn every leaf to achieve that. Their mission is not isolated into Somalia but has far reaching goals.

We believe the reason Al- Shabab is interested in American and western kids is that these kids do not have any relatives in Somalia. They cannot go back to their countries for they will be told to the authorities by local Al-Shabab recruiters. They are also very valuable in interpreting for Al-Shabab trainers of American and western descent. They could be used for anything they want. They could be trained or forced to become suicide bombers in Somalia and they can do it out of desperation.

For many of them, Burhan for example, have no idea where he could go for help in Somalia. This the first time he has been to Somalia in his life. These are basically the main reasons of why Al-Shabaab is recruiting from Western countries.

The most important factor on how Al- Shabaab attracts the young Somali Americans is the indoctrination of the children. They are programmed to understand that it is their duty to confront the infidels. There are youth programs that in some instances have some hidden agendas. These agendas include that whatever issues that might come across in life is twisted as being the work of the infidels.

They have been told to understand that the Ethiopian troops in Somalia
are casted as an act of aggression against the Islamic religion. AlShabab is not only interested in recruiting Somali American youth but others in other Western countries, such as UK, Germany, Canada and Australia. The main reason for Al- Shabaab to recruit from these countries is that these youth have different view than a typical Somali in Somalia. They do not know much about Somali clan and have no political affiliation.

Ahmed Abdi Godane (aka Sheikh Abu Zubeyr) leads the Al-Shabaab movement, deemed the Emir of the jihadist organization, and is assisted by aten-member council (Shura). Al-Shabaab apparently is divided into independently functioning cells covering distinct geographic areas, which have distinct political and military commanders.

The Bay and Bakool command is led by Mukhtar Robow(former spokesperson not directly affiliated to Shabaab); the Mogadishu Command is apparently led by Sheikh Ali Fidowand three other commanders. Some of Al-Shabaab’s top commanders are originally from relatively stable regions of the country, including Abu Zubeyr and Ibrahim Haji Jaama ‘al-Afghani’, who are both from Somaliland, and notorious commander and Swedish national Fuad Mohamed Shangole.

The Shura council and operational autonomy of different cells allows each commander to pursue his own military strategy and administer the areas conquered independently.

Warning: I strongly suggest that the FBI create a special task force to combat the Al-Shabab recruitment in MN,OH, Washington Seattle and Boston, MA

Al-shabab recruiters have the agility and ability to change form. They usually are well represented not only in certain mosques but wherever Somali children and young adults are concentrated. Such as community centers, charter schools operated by Somalis. They could sometimes pose as Somali community leaders and advice politicians and other agencies that are outreaching to the Somali community.

92 year old Seattle Strip Club Mogul Frank Colacurcio Sr Faces new RICO Charges, The Italian "Don" Paid His Own Dancers $1,000 for Sex.

92 year old Seattle Strip Club Mogul Frank Colacurcio Sr Faces new RICO Charges, He Ran Seattle's 2003 "Strippergate" Campaign Finance Scandal and The Italian "Don" Paid His Own Dancers $1,000 for Sex.

SEATTLE -- Longtime strip-club owner Frank Colacurcio Sr., his son and four associates were indicted Tuesday on federal racketeering, money laundering, mail fraud and prostitution conspiracy charges, the latest in a long line of brushes with the law for the notorious Seattle crime figure.

In a grand jury indictment unsealed Tuesday, the 92-year-old Colacurcio and his associates are accused of promoting prostitution at four Seattle-area nightclubs run by the Colacurcios' management business.

Dancers and club managers were dissuaded from reporting prostitution, and those who were arrested or caught in acts of prostitution were repeatedly allowed to return to work in the clubs, and receipts from the sex trade were laundered through various bank accounts, according to the indictment.

Colacurcio has a rap sheet that dates back to the 1940s and he was identified as a racketeer in hearings before a U.S. Senate organized crime committee in 1957.

Last year, the Colacurcios pleaded guilty to felony criminal charges in Seattle's 2003 "Strippergate" campaign-finance scandal in which they secretly funneled thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions through friends, relatives and business partners to the re-election campaigns of three Seattle City Council members. The scheme occurred shortly before a vote on a key rezoning issue involving a strip club.

The RICO charges include racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to use interstate facilities for prostitution and 12 counts of mail fraud, including the mailing of reports that -- according to the government -- were designed to evade admission and income taxes by understating the number of people who paid cover charges at the clubs.

Investigators have long suspected that Frank Colacurcio Sr. was behind the execution-style slayings of five people who had crossed him one way or another. The victims: a rival strip-club operator and his fiancée, a bar owner in Central Washington, a mechanic in a murder-for-hire scheme, and a police informant.

The slayings, which took place in the 1970s and 1980s, have drawn little attention for more than 20 years. Now, federal and local investigators have reopened the cases, trying to find out once and for all whether Colacurcio had anything to do with the deaths. Most recently, investigators reopened the slain-informant case, which might offer them their best hope.

The four clubs and the Colacurcios' homes and offices were raided by FBI agents on June 2, 2008. At the time, an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit, Colacurcio Sr., 92, continued to pay his own dancers as much as $1,000 for sex. More.......................

Heavy Construction Equip Theft Growing Trend to Support Terrorism, Car Dealer Ali Hassan Hammoud Buys 7 Mack Trucks $700,000 Counterfeit Check

Heavy Construction Equipment Theft Growing International Criminal Trend to Support Terrorism, Miami Used Car Dealer Ali Hassan Hammoud Tried To Buy 7 Mack Trucks With A Counterfeit Bank Check For Over $700,000 scam exposed by PI Bill Warner.

The criminal world has discovered a lucrative and growing market: heavy construction equipment. This growing problem is extremely costly to owners of construction equipment, who not only lose valuable equipment, but also pay the price of business downtime. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, close to $1 billion a year is lost nationwide due to theft of construction equipment. A 2005 equipment theft survey conducted by Equipment Today magazine shows that almost 72% of respondents have experienced equipment theft.

Despite the value of construction equipment and the direct impact that equipment loss has for the independent contractor, for the multi-million dollar contracting firm and for the economy in general, few hard statistics are available that document the issue of construction equipment loss on the local, state, national or International level. In an effort to document and develop a picture of what construction equipment theft looks like nationwide.

Rates of equipment theft were highest in those states where a rapid growth rate had been fueling many construction projects.
1) California
2) Florida
3) Texas
4) Arizona

Miami used car dealer ali Hassan Hammoud was reported to have attempted to purchase 7 Mack trucks for over $700,000 with a counterfeit Certified Bank Check in the Dominican Republic and have the vechicles shipped to Miami and then re-shipped out of the USA to the Middle East using his Zamaiss Import Export company. The Middle East, especially Dubai and Abu Dubai and East Africa are experiencing rapid growth and in need of heavy construction equipment.

On or about August 8th, 2008 I received a phone call from a Miami body shop owner who claimed he had also been a victim of Ali Hassan Hammoud, Hammoud had used his State of Florida used car license (with his approval) to purchase used cars from

CoPart, but the supposed Certified Checks that Ali Hassan Hammoud presented to CoPart for the vehicles were forgeries and the Miami body shop owner is now on the hook for thousands of dollars as it was his license used to purchase the cars.

Ali Hassan Hammoud could not purchase used cars as a dealer in the State of Florida as his license had been revoked, something about all those stolen car charges and operating a Chop Shop. Ali Hassan Hammoud was more than likely sending stolen vehicles out of the country after switching the VIN's from the Copart auction cars to the stolen cars and then via the Port of Miami to the Middle East through his Zamaiss Import Export company.

Hammoud, a native of Lebanon lives in Miramar FL,

Law enforcement records indicate Hammoud has arrests dating to 1996 for possession of counterfeit designer clothing, operating a chop shop, vehicle theft, selling vehicles with altered numbers (VIN) and fraud.

Ali Hassan Hammoud operated his chop shop under the name of Germanco Auto Parts, also as Germanco Parts Depot Inc, and as Germanco Auto Sales Inc, all linked to the 9741 NW 27th Ave address of "Zamaiss Import Export Inc." as seen in the story below. Ali Hassan Hammoud also appears to be linked to a second Florida car business that appears to have been exporting stolen used cars to Africa and selling the vehicles with altered VIN's.

Hammoud, a native of Lebanon who lives in Miramar, was arrested Friday July 24th 2008 at Miami International Airport by FBI agents arrest as he was attempting to fly to Beirut. Muslim used car dealer Ali Hassan Hammoud was able to steal $5.7 Million from the State of Florida and wire transferred at least $3 Million to Beirut Lebanon (can you say "Hezbollah").

In an affidavit accompanying the wire fraud charges filed against Hammoud FBI Agent Zachary Coates said the state began depositing money in Hammoud's bank account on July 21, after receiving a form asking that money due Anderson Columbia be paid to an account at Regions Bank in Miami instead of the true account at Wachovia in North Florida.

NYPD AND NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SHUT-DOWN BRONX-BASED LUXURY AND CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE THEFT AND EXPORT RING OUT OF NEW YORK AND FLORIDA SEA PORTS WITH “OPERATION TAG SAIL”.

Early Morning Raids on Feb. 11th 2009 as Part of “Operation Tag Sail” Lead to 12 Arrests for Stealing More than $2.5 Million in Vehicles for Black Market Sale Across the U.S. and in the Dominican Republic, the raids were instigated with the help and investigation of the Broward County, Florida Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Unit and the United States Customs and Border Protection Agencies in Florida.

Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly today announced the shutting down of a Bronx-based criminal enterprise that stole and exported millions of dollars worth of construction equipment and luxury vehicles, as well as the arrests of 12 individuals associated with the crime ring.

A series of early morning raids conducted by Attorney General Cuomo’s Organized Crime Task Force and the New York City Police Department’s Organized Crime Control Bureau Auto Crime Division capped a year-long investigation dubbed “Operation Tag Sail.”


The investigation focused on a Bronx-based criminal ring that allegedly stole nearly 50 vehicles from construction sites, public streets, car dealerships, and parking garages. They allegedly specialized in stealing high-end luxury automobiles, including Hummers and Porsches, and heavy equipment such as Caterpillar Excavators and other makes, for sale on the black market in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and the Dominican Republic.

In total, 12 individuals – including a boss, under-boss, forgers, vehicle thieves, and other members of an alleged illicit crew – were arrested on felony charges filed in Bronx County. Of them, 10 were charged in a 100-count indictment with, among other crimes, Enterprise Corruption, Forgery, Criminal Possession of Stolen Property, Forgery of Vehicle Identification Number, Grand Larceny, and Conspiracy. Enterprise Corruption alone carries a maximum penalty of up to 25 years in prison. The other two defendants were separately indicted for Criminal Possession of Stolen Property and Grand Larceny.

“Some people try to smuggle jewels out of the country. These individuals tried to sneak off with Caterpillars and Hummers. What they lacked in finesse they tried to compensate with audacity. But it made no difference. They met with the same end – arrest – thanks to the outstanding work of NYPD auto crime detectives and their partners in the Attorney General’s Organized Crime Task Force,” said Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly.

The investigation utilized wiretaps and other surveillance to gather evidence on the Bronx-based operation. According to the charges, the ring stole nearly 50 vehicles from construction sites, public streets, car dealerships, and parking garages.


Generally, once an automobile or truck was stolen, the defendants allegedly would ‘wash’ the vehicle’s title clean by checking the vehicle identification number (VIN) of a similar make and model (or using forged documents from out of state), using this information to put a new VIN plate and new forged stickers on the stolen vehicle, creating a title made up to match the fake VIN, and then re-registering the vehicle out-of-state (FLORIDA) – in states that could not “read” the information bar code on the forged titles. (Stolen cars appeared to be shipped out of the USA via Ports under the supervision of the United States Customs and Border Protection Agencies in Florida)

20 Minneapolis area Muslims linked to Al-Qaeda indicted on terror charges, 21-year-old Abdifatah Ise or Abdifatah Isse arrested.

20 Minneapolis area Muslims linked to Al-Qaeda indicted on terror charges, 21-year-old Abdifatah Ise or Abdifatah Isse arrested.

Among those charged is a man from Minneapolis who went to war-torn Somalia and then, about four months ago, relocated to Seattle, according to the two sources and a leader in the Minneapolis Somali community. The man was then arrested in a Seattle airport and transferred to a jail in Minneapolis, where he is currently being detained, according to the law enforcement sources.

The law enforcement sources said the man, described as in his 20s, has been charged with providing material support to a terrorist group, in this case Al-Shabaab, which has been warring with the moderate Somali government since 2006.

Omar Jamal, the executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in St. Paul, Minn., identified the man as 21-year-old Abdifatah Ise or Abdifatah Isse. FOX News was unable to independently confirm that. Jamal said the man's family contacted him for "assistance" after the arrest, but he had been unable to speak publicly about it until now "in the interest of" a federal investigation.

For much of the past year the FBI has been looking into how dozens of young, Somali-American men were recruited to train and possibly fight alongside al-Shabaab in anarchy-stricken Somalia. The investigation has centered around Minneapolis, where a grand jury has been hearing testimony from witnesses for several months, but the investigation has also been active in Seattle; Columbus, Ohio; Cincinnati; Boston; and San Diego. A source told FOX News in March that "several" recruits had returned to the United States.

There are 73 individuals with the last name of ISSE in MINNEAPOLIS and there is just one female with the last name of ISE, there are several arrest records for individuals with the last name of ISSE in Minnesota and none for ISE.

The last name of ISSE links to Somalia, see Mohamed Ali Isse. Isse, 36, is a convicted murderer and jihadist. He is known among his fellow prisoners, with grudging awe, as "The Man with the American Thing in His Leg," other Federal cases out of MINNEAPOLIS that link to Somalia include wanted fugitive Mahamud Abdullahi Isse.

Oct 26 2007 (Somaliland Net) - MINNEAPOLIS -- Investigators in Minneapolis have accused Somali writer and wanted fugitive Mahamud Abdullahi Isse of fleeing to Africa to avoid prosecution on rape charges in Minnesota. A criminal complaint filed in federal court on Tuesday claims Isse, 72, has fled to the Republic of Djibouti near Somalia where he "has been seen and interviewed by local reporters."

Isse had a trial set for June 25 in Hennepin County for charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of attempted first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He did not appear for his court date and has since been listed as one of Minnesota’s Top 10 Most Wanted.The federal affidavit says Isse "fled the Minneapolis area shortly after learning that uniformed Hennepin County deputy sheriffs were looking to arrest him the last week of June 2007."

A Minneapolis resident accused of aiding and communicating with Al Qaeda has pleaded guilty to supporting the terrorist group. Mohammed Abdullah Warsame, 35, a naturalized Canadian citizen from Somalia, pleaded guilty in a Minnesota federal court to conspiring to provide material support to Al Qaeda on May 20, 2009. According to the plea agreement, Warsame provided Al Qaeda with personnel, training and material support from 2000 to 2003, see Federal Indictment click here.

Warsame moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in April 2002 after obtaining an immigrant visa, according to an FBI affidavit. Since their marriage in 1995, Warsame’s wife has lived in Minneapolis, from where approximately 20 young Somali-American men have traveled to Somalia to join a U.S. designated terrorist group.

The UK/USA Terror Connection Al-Muhajiroun: NY to London Exposed by PI Bill Warner not Pamela Geller.

The UK/USA Terror Connection Al-Muhajiroun: NY to London exposed by PI Bill Warner not Pamela Geller !

“There is an active terror cell in Queens NY with members of Baltimore al-Muhajiroun (pictured with beards) showing up in Oct. of 2005“, the surveillance photos were taken by private investigator Bill Warner, others, like Pamela Geller of the "atlas shrugs website", continue to take credit for this very important work, see original video shot by BBC news crew above, click on image for video, private investigator Bill Warner is seen at 7:58 into the video, in front of the Masjid al-Fatima Mosque in Queens NY with Richard Watson.

BBC journalist Richard Watson stated in a recent report (video) that at the end of the 1990s, Omar Bakri Mohammed wanted to expand into the US at the Masjid al-Fatima in Queens NY. The information on what had happened in New York's HT chapter was made more clear by private investigator Bill Warner.

In 2005 Private investigator and self-styled "cyber vigilante" Bill Warner, currently based in Sarasota, Florida had taken BBC reporter Richard Watson to the Masjid al-Fatima on 37th Avenue, Woodside in Queens. Here, the BBC filmed Aqeel Khan (video), the founder and secretary of the Queens Islamic Center at the mosque, while Bill Warner interviewed him. During the mid 1990s, the mosque had been infiltrated by radical members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, much as they had tried to take over the Croydon mosque in London.

In 2005 when Bill Warner took BBC journalist Richard Watson to the Masjid al-Fatima on 37th Avenue, Woodside, Queens NY which had been taken over by radicals from Hizb ut-Tahrir in the mid 1990s, Watson videotaped Bill Warner's interview with imam Aqeel Khan, who spoke of the problems of radicals at the mosque.

Mr. Warner's sleuthing managed to show that Junaid Babar, who was an Al Muhajiroun member from Queens, had attended the Woodside mosque, and here in 1999 had first met Sajil Shahid. Shahid had founded the Al Muhajiroun office in Lahore in Pakistan, which became a center for ferrying British jihadists (including the five men convicted of the Operation Crevice plot, and also Mohammed Sidique Khan, leader of London's 7/7 bombers) from Lahore to the regions bordering with Afghanistan, where they met Taliban and Al Qaeda controllers.

Mr. Warner's investigations (not Pamela Geller) also showed that a meeting took place at the Masjid al-Fatima mosque from June 2 to 4, 2000, with lectures given by Sajil Shahid. This three day convention was also attended by an individual called "Brother Fahad", who is Syed "Fahad" Hashmi.

27-year old Hashmi was presented in United States Magistrate's Court on Tuesday May 29,2007 and on the following day he was indicted at Manhattan Federal Court before United States District Judge Loretta Preska. He was indicted on three charges, with the main count involving conspiracy to contribute funds, goods or services to the terrorist group. If he is found guilty at his future trial, he could serve 50 years in jail.

Mark Mershon, assistant director-in-charge of the FBI's New York office, said: "Syed Hashmi aided the enemy by providing military gear to al-Qaida." Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said: "This arrest reinforces the fact that a terrorist may have roots in Queens and still betray us.
